Milan – Juventus have hinted that they will do anything to come between Inter and Giovinco while Milan could force Inter into a bidding war for Matias Silvestre. Those situations are two different stories but the fact remains that the transfer market tracks are endless and sporting director, Piero Ausilio and technical director, Marco Branca will not be caught unprepared.
Outgoing transfer problems It is not a coincidence that Inter are monitoring several players, knowing very well that there will be some outgoing transfers taking place this summer. For budget issues, some “big” players are destined to leave. But if the possible sale of Sneijder will depend a lot on the Euro, what will remain fairly stagnant are the positions of Julio Cesar (Inter are interested in Samir Handanovic), Maicon (Inter like Mathieu Debuchy) and of course there are others like Lucio, Forlan and Pazzini.
Even West Ham want Casta After the 8 million collected for Pandev, Inter could start cashing in on Luc Castaignos. The 20 year-old Dutch striker is really liked in England. For him, who would volunteer to make a return to Feyenoord, Everton and Liverpool have come forward. But yesterday, Inter directors had lunch with the emissaries of West Ham, accompanied by FIFA agent, Vincenzo Morabito. This conversation could have further developments in the near future.
Missing a central Yesterday there were rumors of a meeting with Lo Monaco and Capozucca, Genoa directors. But the two were in the center of Milan to meet with Atalanta and later tried to solve the co-ownership of Francesco Acerbi with Chievo, who is also in a Milan derby on the transfer market. All postponed. After Chivu’s contract extension, Inter now have Chivu, Samuel and Ranocchia as their central defenders. Let’s not forget Juan Jesus in whom Inter could focus on for next season. Another option is Andreolli if the negotiations for Silvestre went badly.
Mudi and Yann Now for the midfield. After picking up the option to sign Guarin and Poli permanently, Inter are looking for a dam to put in front of the defense. As admitted by Bologna director Zani who said that “an offer from a big team has arrived,” there is no question that Inter are in pole position for Gaby Mudingayi. But the dream remains Yann M’Vila, even if Rennes continue asking for no less than 20 million for the French midfielder. The good news is that Arsenal, who were very close to the 21 year-old, have denied that he made an offer and the club of Arsene Wenger now seems focusing on Nigel De Jong, another Inter target. In Milan yesterday, there was the agent of Paulinho but the track that leads the Brazilian to Inter is frozen.
Ramirez in background The Ramirez idea remains alive. The problem is always the same. The Rossoblu are asking 20 million. But of course, Inter could include some players in negotiations. Other than Krhin, there are names like Faraoni and the same Juan Jesus. But for Ramirez, Inter must first understand who is leaving and what is going to happen with Giovinco.
Got all of Bardi Here is the real operation of the day. Inter have picked up the option to sign Francesco Bardi, 20 year-old goalkeeper, to a permanent contract and will lend him to Novava. To president Spinelli are 2 million euros, and the second half of Siligardi and Dell’Agnello, both now are Livorno players.
From Serbia: Moratti Wants Kolarov
According to a website called Novosti, Massimo Moratti wants to bring back to Italy Aleksandar Kolarov. According to report, Inter as well as Juve have come forward to sign the full-back of Manchester City, one that seems to be on the bench more than the field and wants to feel important again. The Nerazzurri seem to have a slight edge as President Massimo Moratti wants to acquire the full card of the Serbian defender.
Inter-Handanovic: Very Possible
This opens up new scenarios for the future of Samir Handanovic. According to Tuttosport, Udinese have decided to release the goalkeeper. Inter is the most likely destination. The player wants a big club and Inter, who already have him in shopping list, cannot afford all the money. Therefore, according to the newspaper, Inter could repeat a formula like Juventus used: co-ownership to avoid the asking price of 15 million requested by Pozzo. Even for Handanovic, in the end, but no counterparts only cash.
Bologna Have Asked For Juan Jesus
Bologna have already taken its steps forward to Juan Jesus. The Brazilian defender has been the target of sporting director Zanzi who has made the request to Inter but at the moment, the response of Inter is stand-by. That is, first Inter want to understand what is the situation regarding the incoming transfers, the attitude of the players that Inter already have, and then evaluate the position of Juan.
Le Parisien Confirms Inter Interest In Debuchy
The Paris daily newspaper Le Parisien confirms the strong interest that Inter have for Mathieu Debuchy, the fullback of Lille currently with the French national team at Euro 2012. According to reports, Inter, along with Newcastle, Valencia, Bayern Munich are interested in the defender so much so that Lille have identified his replacement: Christophe Jallet of Paris Saint-Germain.
Marca: Jose Mourinho Has Chosen Maicon
There is no better fullback than Maicon. This is the conclusion of Jose Mourinho after various approaches have been explored for right-backs around Europe. As reported by Spanish newspaper Marca, the Portuguese coach has also spoken with Maicon asking if he still has two more seasons at the highest levels. Inter want to sell and the asking price is 15 but can fall with negotiations.
Mudingayi: “I Would Leave Bologna To Improve My Career”
Gaby Mudingayi is viewed by many people as a strong candidate for the Inter midfield next season. Not just Inter that want him however, there is also Napoli as well. So here is Mudingayi to tell us about his thought process as well as the possibility of leaving Bologna.
“We can just talk about this forever but there is nothing concrete with Napoli. No one has called me, with Pastorello we agreed that we would hear from each other if there is something clear. So far, I haven’t heard anything yet. Napoli are a great club and I would certainly play there. I am also very well in Bologna but I would only leave to improve my career.”
Genoa Director Confirms: “Longo Will Play At Genoa Next Season”
Pietro Lo Monaco, the new general manager of Genoa, has assured us that next year Samuele Longo will play with the shirt of Genoa.
“When a player begins to score goals, even with the Primavera, his value begins to rise. But this does not hinder our intentions. I can however guarantee that Longo will play for us next season. Capozucca in Milan yesterday? We did not talk to Inter, but we did however exchange a view conversations with Atalanta.”
Branca: “Nothing Certain Regarding Longo And Destro”
Here comes the comment on the part of Inter regarding negotiations with Genoa for Mattia Destro and Samuele Longo. A few moments ago technical director Marco Branca had this to say:
“There is nothing certain yet on the situation of Longo and Destro. I am surprised that someone are so sure about it. The two Presidents have already been talking for some time.”
With these words, Inter have responded to Lo Monaco who has guaranteed that Samuele Longo will play for Genoa next season.
Inter Want All Of Longo
The latest news has come regarding the future of Samuele Longo. The young Italian striker is co-owned between Inter and Genoa but the Rossoblu new general director Lo Monaco is certain that the player will play for Genoa next season, a guarantee that did not please the Nerazzurri and it was also out of place because according to Sky, Inter intend to buy the half of Genoa.
“Projects and frictions. There was friction today between Inter and Genoa with the Nerazzurri management did not like the certainties revealed by Lo Monaco on bringing the young striker Samuele Longo to Genoa next season. The intention of Inter at this point is keeping Longo by redeeming the Genoa’s half. Moratti could also include their half of Kucka for half of Mattia Destro plus cash.”
